    Windows 11: The application icon on the desktop is obscured by the document icon


    Hi Recently, the application icon on my Windows Desktop has been having problems. The document icon appears on the application icon as shown in the picture. I've tried deleting and recreating the shortcut, as well as changing the icon Properties/Shortcut/Change Icon but it's still the same. Is there any way to fix it? We look forward to receiving solutions from you.

    :)
     

  2. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

    In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

    Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
    Some people have this and some don't.
